Audax Events on Cornish Roads in the 2013 Season

This includes all the calendar events organised by Audax Kernow, and a few ‘up country’ events that venture across the Tamar.

The Audax UK season runs from 1st October to the end of September, so the local 2013 season started with Ed’s Mince Pie and Mulled Wine ride in December 2012, and the last few months of 2013 fall in the 2014 Season.

If you completed an event within the time limits and with a valid Brevet you will be included in the number of riders finished and you will usually appear on the full AUK results list for the event. You can order cloth badges and metal medals for the standard distances, and Grimpeur medals for AAA points, online from the Audax UK website.

Sunday 19 May 2013

Starting from Carnon Downs Organiser Martyn Aldis

Organised by CTC Cornwall, three rides to suit all tastes. The Granite and
Serpentine Way is a 100 miler including long coastal stretches with views
out to sea as well as sheltered lanes. A Lizard Loop is an Audax Kernow classic
100km Populaire ride featuring the open, flattish roads of the Lizard. Carns
and Killas is a shorter ride over quiet lanes and minor roads.

Refreshments at controls and the customary custard and crumble feast at the finish, with one commercial tea shop control at Pengelly.

Sunday 9 June 2013

Starting from Launceston Organiser Jim Wilkinson

Four rides with a huge choice of terrain. Tour of the Moors is a challenging ride for experienced randonneurs that takes in the two moors that sit either side of the Tamar valley. Fantastic views and scenery as well as several big climbs.
Dartmoor 8 provides a figure of 8 tour of Dartmoor including several famous climbs plus the beauty of the Teign valley.
Moor & Coast takes in the spectacular views of Bodmin Moor together with equally spectacular views of the north Cornwall coastline. A rolling but truly rewarding ride.
Tamar Taster is described as a gentle ride over the hills of West Devon taking in spectacular views along quiet lanes.

Sunday 7 July 2013

Starting from Caharrack Organiser Simon Jones

These rides explore Cornwall’s mining heritage in the ‘Copper Kingdom’ between the Channel and the Atlantic. There is a choice of routes, both with the option of pausing for a pasty lunch and ending with a clotted cream tea. Mountain bike recommended for the
off-road route, which uses old tramroads and bridleways (includes some short connecting on-road sections).

Sunday 8 September 2013

Starting from Connor Downs Organiser Peter Hansen

Reminders of West Cornwall’s ‘Copper, Fish and Tin’ heritage await as you ride from Lighthouse (Golowjy) to Mine (Bal) through villages, moorland and quiet roads set against a stunning rural and coastal backdrop.
